Lockout Top Plays: Bon appetit

With NBA lockout now over, we probably won't be getting anymore exhibition games, so ballislife.com put together a clip of the TOP 50 plays.  There are a lot of nice clips on here...enjoy

Putting on a Show

Lebron, Kevin and Carmelo recently participated in another of this summer's star studded exhibition games.  KD dropped 59 pts, but Melo and Bron Bron crept out with the victory.  File these highlights under "basketball fans just want to watch basketball games." Thank you for all the players putting on these games in spite of the NBA operating like a spoiled child.

Kevin Durant Scores 44 as Goodman Squeaks by Drew

If I may rant: I am tired of people continuing to refer to any basketball not played in an organized league where players are payed large sums of money as "streetball." For the most part these games are organized with great players and referees that actually officiate the game. It could be argued that with traveling and double dribbling becoming a thing of the past that the NBA and its few rules have regressed to more of a streetball game then you may find at your favorite local gym.  If I go to a gym to hoop I'm going to play basketball, there is nothing street about it.  Even if my friends and I set up to goals in the middle of a busy street it still wouldn't be streetball by the definition that And 1 and other traveling events boasted. When's the last time you saw a Hot Sauce get screams and pounds for shaking a 12 year old and missing a jumper anyways?

Anyways Kevin Durant dropped 44 as he led a Goodman team with names like John Wall and Demarcus Cousins playing along side him.  Drew had an equally explosive squad as Brandon Jennings, James Harden, Javale McGee and Demar Derozan battled Goodman to the wire.  When they gonna start televising this stuff? Can we at least get a whole game posted on youtube? Please?

Kevin Hart vs Shannon Brown: The show down!!!

Kevin Hart droppin buckets or more correctly bucket.

KD!

So...when do we start putting Kevin Durant in the talks for best player in the league?
